There is a 2010 business and population census in China. This could lead to an adjustment in estimated population and a new estimate of GDP.

China should become a high income country in 2016-2017 assuming 9% annual GDP growth and the yuan appreciating to about 3.5 yuan to the US dollar. It is also assumed that China's population will peak in 2026 at about 1.4 billion people (US Census Bureau estimate)
